tabletop

Can a certain rectangular sheet of glass be positioned on a rectangular tabletop so that
it covers the entire tabletop and its edges are parallel to the edges of the tabletop?
(1) The tabletop is 36 inches wide by 60 inches long.
(2) The area of one side of the sheet of glass is 2400 square inches.

is the OA (E)?

st 1:
we don't know anything about the glass sheet. insufficient.

st 2:
we don't know anything about the table top. insufficient.

St 1 & St 2:
we still can not say for sure whether the glass sheet will cover the entire table top. try (12*200) and ((40*60) as the dimension of the glass-sheet. the first can not cover the table entirely, but the second can. so, insufficient.
